This one is a really interesting one! A completely unique control scheme that makes you wonder why it isn't used in more games.

Another Capcom conversion. It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a game you nothing about.

Halloween may be over but Ghosts’N Goblins seemed seasonally appropriate to play. I am always humbled as to how bad I am a this whenever I try it. I spend most of my time stripped to my underwear or dead. Who am I kidding, I am always dead. #AtariST
